QuickScreenShots 2.2.5

The ability to take screenshots can be very useful for several purposes such as contacting tech support to describe a problem, creating presentations and guides, showing off game achievements and many more. However, simply using the default PrintScreen button is a rather antiquated way of saving screenshots, especially because you need to then open a graphic editing application (such as Paint) to paste the screenshot from the Clipboard and then save it on your computer.

The better and faster way of capturing the screen is provided by specialized applications such as QuickScreenShots. This simple tool is light on your system’s resources and offers various features that are not available when using the default PrintScreen function.

The application requires .NET Framework to work properly, so be sure you have it on your computer before installing QuickScreenShots. The tool’s UI offers a number of tiles so you can easily access essential options but also a toolbar.

The program runs quietly in the system tray and thanks to hotkey support you can grab screenshots without ever having to open its interface. There are various screen capture modes you can use such as full screen, a specific area, in-game screenshot or an active window. You can enable any of these by using the dedicated buttons available in the interface or using hotkeys which you can customize in the Settings pane.
Once you capture a screenshot the application will automatically save it and open it in its interface. There you can use a number of editing tools for drawing, adding text and shapes, applying a blur, shadow and other effects as well as changing the background color or adjusting the opacity level.
